HAs there been religious cleansing happening in Kashmir and Pakistan after 1947 ?
Many people claim that there was a sustained religious cleansing happening after the division of 1947 in Pakistan and Kashmir. Indian government and many Kashmiri Hindus who had to flee Kashmir vouch for the same.
Also, after 1947 there is a sizeable reduction in non-Muslim population in Pakistan and Kashmir, does this indicate that religious cleansing has infact happened ?
Can anyone give me facts and figures ?
To MR. Roaring Lion,
Sir/Madam,
Please lets not get into discussion of which name of God is more powerful etc. I can easily quote others claiming different things for their own faiths. So your quotes are just a matter of personal faith and the answer is irrelevant to the question posed.
To sir_thinksalot
Your answer beats all logic, you are saying that most non-Muslims left Pakistan and were not killed/converted but Muslims in India live in tension ?
Then why did so many Muslims still live in India and decided to stay in India ?
Why does India have Muslim participation in politics as well as Muslim presidents/ministers, certainly this is a representation of a country that truly treats everyone as equal isnt it.
Why do you guys stick to lies , do you really believe your own lies ? do you know what punishment your religion has for lying and deception ? I think you are really ignorant of your religion.
To John,
I know your answer is reasonably closer to truth but I need facts and figures and dates. The reason being not only should these facts be given to followers of Islam who have now come down to falsehood and deception to defend their bad actions, but to help everyone realise this deception for what it is.
For those who use deception their faith has punishment defined for the same.

No cleansing has happened in Pakistan. The only reason there has been a reduction in Pakistan in terms of non muslim population is because majority left for India voluntairly.
Cases of forced conversion and killings are over rated for both sides of the border.
Meanwhile muslims face tensions, discrimination and genocides (Gujrat, 2002) in India even today.
To the Asker:
Sure, believe what you want buddy. It is you who is ignorant of all. Where you there to verify all reports of cleansing against Pakistan? Don't believe whatever you read or hear. Especially from internet. If I want, I can easily open a website in mere minutes which showcases muslims of India in dire situation.
The truth is at time of Pakistan's creation, while millions of muslims came to Pakistan, even more non muslims left to India. This trend (non muslims departing Pakistan and giving up Pakistani citizenship to other countries still continues today). Also, Pakistan has always been a muslim majority area (for thousand plus years now) and therefore, it is natural that non muslims were and will remain minority in Pakistan whether or not Pakistan exists.
Also, in 1971, East Pakistan conspired with India to become Bangladesh and it was this wing of Pakistan which contained majority of Pakistan's non muslim population. They still amount to double digit percentage of the population. Read your history buddy and know your facts.
Around 1-2 million non muslims still reside in Pakistan and even though they might face unjustices of which I am not a fan of, they are in no way in such a bad shape as muslims of India who face genocides (Babri Masjid 1990s, Gurjat 2002) nor do they face state sponsered brain washing which tells them to hate their fellow muslim Pakistanis and Bangladeshis. There was a good article published recently in Toronto Star telling how Indian muslims in many cases are forced to hide their identities just to earn a living.
As to me being ignorant of my faith, buddy, just keep religion out of it. If I start explaning you my knowledge and unearth your ignorance, this post will run out of space.
Finally as to why many millions of Muslims still reside in India. Well, the answer to this is simple. First of all, realize that it is impossible for all muslims to leave India to muslim countries. While non muslim countries give citizenship to all, muslim nations are notorious to not give citizenship to anybody and even if they do, it is in 99.99% cases given only to muslims.
Also, muslims in India have a very deep and historical relationship with India. While more poorer muslims departed to Pakistan and elsewhere over the time, more richer and politically influential muslims remained in India for their own personal benefit. Meanwhile, non muslims in Pakistan, as I already mentioned, face a hostile culture (both social and otherwise) and thus opt to leave the country for a better life. This trend continues and in no way spells GENOCIDE or CLEANSING. If it did, I am sure Pakistan would be under spotlight just like Sudan for Darfur or Yugoslavia for Bosnia.
Again, please feel free to believe what you want. Your encouragement of posts like John V criminals shows your personality and the state of mind you are in.

When India was divided, almost all the Hindus were killed barbarically in pakistan or some were forced to convert to islam after getting circumcised and forcibily eating the beef.
In Kashmir, muslims are in majority so their lot of innocent Hindus and Sikhs are killed and Kashmiri pandits are forced to leave their own mother-land.
Muslims popultion is increasing very fast in the country. Where non-muslim usually have less no of kids.., Muslim produce lot many kids as a part of their agenda of becoming majority in India.
Once they become majority , which is a very real possibility, we would see the Kashmir in every part of India and non-muslims either killed or forced to run-away or killed.
So, stop living in a fool's paradise of so called 'secularism', realize the truth and lets all non-muslim be united. Vote to such government which do not do muslim appeasement and make the same laws for all indian citizens ir-respective of the religion like single marriage. While presently the single marriage law is only for non-muslims while the muslims are free to have 4 wifes at a single time. Also goverment should be forced to make a law to put a limit of 2 children for all religion specially muslims. By doing all this only we can contain the danger

Only hindus were thrown out of Kashmir thanks to the Hindu King called Bhim Singh. Enemies to Hindu are hindus and enemeies to indians are Indians themselves.
